maybe they want a honest opinion in another person's vision. but when they hear the truth that they are fat, they get depressed and eat more. But instead of sitting there do some exercise. at least 20 minutes a day...

uh no, BMI isn't something you should rely on, it said I'm overweight but I love my body and excersize and eat healthy, and have a nice shape and good looking body. Thats just a rough estimate.

People say that when they think they are fat, they just want someone to say that they are not so they feel better about themselves. Psychology!!
